Ezekiel 25:13

25:13 So this is what the sovereign Lord says: I will stretch out my hand against Edom, and I will kill the people and animals within her, ¹  and I will make her desolate; from Teman to Dedan they will die ²  by the sword.

Ezekiel 32:10-13

32:10 I will shock many peoples with you,

and their kings will shiver with horror because of you.

When I brandish my sword before them,

every moment each one will tremble for his life, on the day of your fall.

32:11 “‘For this is what the sovereign Lord says:

“‘The sword of the king of Babylon ³  will attack ⁴  you.

32:12 By the swords of the mighty warriors I will cause your hordes to fall –

all of them are the most terrifying among the nations.

They will devastate the pride of Egypt,

and all its hordes will be destroyed.

32:13 I will destroy all its cattle beside the plentiful waters;

and no human foot will disturb ⁵  the waters ⁶  again,

nor will the hooves of cattle disturb them.

Genesis 6:7

6:7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe humankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth – everything from humankind to animals, ⁷  including creatures that move on the ground and birds of the air, for I regret that I have made them.”

Exodus 12:12

12:12 I will pass through ⁸  the land of Egypt in the same ⁹  night, and I will attack ¹⁰  all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both of humans and of animals, ¹¹  and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment. ¹²  I am the Lord.

Jeremiah 7:20

7:20 So,” the Lord God ¹³  says, “my raging fury will be poured out on this land. ¹⁴  It will be poured out on human beings and animals, on trees and crops. ¹⁵  And it will burn like a fire which cannot be extinguished.”

Jeremiah 32:43

32:43 You and your people ¹⁶  are saying that this land will become desolate, uninhabited by either people or animals. You are saying that it will be handed over to the Babylonians. ¹⁷  But fields ¹⁸  will again be bought in this land. ¹⁹ 

[25:13]  ¹ tn Heb “and I will cut off from her man and beast.”

[25:13]  ² tn Heb “fall.”

[32:11]  ³ sn The king of Babylon referred to here was Nebuchadnezzar (Ezek 21:19).

[32:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “approach.”

[32:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “muddy.”

[32:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “them,” that is, the waters mentioned in the previous line. The translation clarifies the referent.

[6:7]  ⁷ tn The text simply has “from man to beast, to creatures, and to birds of the air.” The use of the prepositions עַד…מִן (min...’ad) stresses the extent of the judgment in creation.

[12:12]  ⁸ tn The verb וְעָבַרְתִּי (vÿ’avarti) is a Qal perfect with vav (ו) consecutive, announcing the future action of God in bringing judgment on the land. The word means “pass over, across, through.” This verb provides a contextual motive for the name “Passover.”

[12:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “this night.”

[12:12]  ¹⁰ tn The verb נָכָה (nakhah) means “to strike, smite, attack”; it does not always mean “to kill,” but that is obviously its outcome in this context. This is also its use in 2:12, describing how Moses killed the Egyptian and buried him in the sand.

[12:12]  ¹¹ tn Heb “from man and to beast.”

[12:12]  ¹² tn The phrase אֶעֱשֶׂה שְׁפָטִים (’e’eseh shÿfatim) is “I will do judgments.” The statement clearly includes what had begun in Exod 6:1. But the statement that God would judge the gods of Egypt is appropriately introduced here (see also Num 33:4) because with the judgment on Pharaoh and the deliverance from bondage, Yahweh would truly show himself to be the one true God. Thus, “I am Yahweh” is fitting here (see B. Jacob, Exodus, 312).

[7:20]  ¹³ tn Heb “Lord Yahweh.” The translation follows the ancient Jewish tradition of substituting the Hebrew word for God for the proper name Yahweh.

[7:20]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “this place.” Some see this as a reference to the temple but the context has been talking about what goes on in the towns of Judah and Jerusalem and the words that follow, meant as a further explanation, are applied to the whole land.

[7:20]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the trees of/in the field and the fruit of/in the ground.”

[32:43]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “you.” However, the pronoun is plural and is addressed to more than just Jeremiah (v. 26). It includes Jeremiah and those who have accepted his prophecy of doom.

[32:43]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “The Chaldeans.” See the study note on 21:4 for further explanation.

[32:43]  ¹⁸ tn The noun is singular with the article, but it is a case of the generic singular (cf. GKC 406 §126.m).

[32:43]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “Fields will be bought in this land of which you [masc. pl.] are saying, ‘It will be desolate [a perfect of certainty or prophetic perfect] without man or beast; it will be given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’” The original sentence has been broken down to better conform to contemporary English style.
